It   is   30 km   from  Arezzo, 50 km   from Perugia   and  70 km from   Florence. Thanks to   the  nearby train station (5 minutes walk distance from the  School) you can easily   reach some   of the most beautiful Tuscan and Umbrian towns.

 

The HILL’S SCHOOL, established in 1996, organises courses   of Italian  Language and culture all year round.

TUITION LEVELS

 

  1. BEGINNERS:  In this course,   beginner   students   develop   the   basic   grammar   and   common   vocabulary. Simple conversation is practiced together with   reading and   pronunciation exercises. The main aim of this course is to enable students to use the Italian language in the most common situations of daily life.

 

  1. INTERMEDIATE: In this course the teacher   does a    review of   the   basic  structures of the language, furnishes  a deeper insight into grammar and syntax, enriches the vocabulary and introduces the main aspects of Italian culture: art, music, cinema, theatre, fashion, cookery etc.

 

  1. ADVANCED:   Students   reach a    successful   level of   language   use in a wide range of situations,  including  telephone   conversations, reading   and writing and they wish to master higher levels of perfection.

 

INDIVIDUAL CRASH COURSES - FACE-TO-FACE AND ONLINE.

 

Our school organises courses for individual students who wish to study the Italian language as intensively  as possible in a short period of time.

Individual courses last for a minimum of 1 week and can start on any day.

Students can also choose to develop a   specific   language area (e.g.   Italian   for   tourism, business, art, economics etc.).

It is also possible to follow an individual course with  2 or 3  lessons a  week  according   to   the  student’s needs. This course may last for a minimum of 3 months to a maximum of 6 months.

The   one-to-one   tuition   method    involves   the    student   actively  in  the lesson,    with   a  constant conversational  contact. This type of course can be adapted for any kind of level.
